Notes job loss"I am not a soapbox person, but I have seen so many employees mourn the loss of a job with the same feelings experienced with the loss of a loved one--guilt, frustration, anger, and finally acceptance. Americans often make the mistake of transposing who they are into what they do. You are many things: friend, spouse, neighbor, church member, card carrying ACLU member, co-worker, parent, advisor, and...Marketing Manager. The essence of you will never be reflected in your job title." (p. 188)
setback"The difference between business success and failure is controlling and managing the situation at hand or letting the situation dictate the terms of your life. There is no doubt you can control and manage your career yourself. Don't delegate that responsibility to anyone." (p. 188)
